When Can One Begin Exercising Post A Bone Fracture?
Hello,
My 16-yr-old son is an elite athlete. He suffered a traumatic hyphema and facial bone fractures, but recovered very well. Today is one-week after the injury, all is visibal is a very minor hyphema and 2 tears on the iris (with atropine dilated pupil). He asks when can he start to do his routine light exercise (baseball routines on the field) and roughly when can he start to do heavy weight training exercise again. Thank you in advance!
